Hroscopic Medial Gutter Knee
Medial femoral condyle cartilage.
Hroscopic medial gutter knee. On arthroscopy flap tears were found displaced inferiorly and trapped in the medial gutter in 6 of the 8 patients. Examination of suprapatellar pouch revealed copious synovial fluid. This needs to be precise and accurate both for the viewing portal and for the instrumentation portal. The arthroscopic instruments were inserted through a medical infrapatellar puncture site.
The arthroscope and probe are the two pieces of equipment that are fundamental to knee arthroscopy fig. There were multiple cartilaginous loose joint bodies floating around within the knee. Arthroscopic resection of the anvil osteophyte can improve knee extension in these selected patients. Portal creation is noted in the previous chapter.
Diagnostic arthroscopy is a crucial skill for diagnosing intra articular disorders of the knee including meniscal. Best seen with 70 degree scope placed through notch modified gillquist view with knee in figure four position finish in lateral. Arthroscopy includes visualization of the suprapatellar pouch medial gutter lateral gutter medial compart ment lateral compartment intercondylar notch and posterior medial and posterior lateral compartments. The arthroscopic pump was inserted through a medial suprapatellar puncture site.
29881 arthroscopy knee surgical with meniscectomy medial or lateral including any meniscal shaving including debridement shaving of articular cartilage chondroplasty same or separate compartment s when performed during a meniscectomy the surgeon removes a piece of the torn meniscus or the entire meniscus. Diagnostic arthroscopy of the knee joint typically begins with the arthroscope placed through an anterolateral portal into the knee joint. Preoperative mri revealed a distinctive flap tear of the medial meniscus flipped inferiorly to lay trapped between the tibia and deep fibers of the mcl. The arthroscope is named according to the angle between the long axis of the arthroscope and the viewing angle of the lens with 0 30 and 70 lenses available for use.
